Blaze & Ajax (Alpha’s Rejects #3)

Blaze was curled into me, feeling warm and snuggly. He was the only warm thing in my life right now. The depression still had a stranglehold on me, but at least the grip around my throat was less tight.

Fuck, I was exhausted, like I hadn’t slept in years. Hell, I’d barely slept in months. Now, I struggled to get out of bed. But if I laid here all day, I’d get lost in my taunting thoughts, pushing me down deeper.

Shit, I had to get up. I promised myself I would take those steps by myself. If I was to face my bipolar disorder for the rest of my life, I needed to be able to push myself to stay healthy on my own. I didn’t want anyone holding my hand for the rest of my life. That wasn’t fair to them… or to Aiden, if he stuck it out with me.

At least I had other people to do just that. I’d felt utterly alone, my thoughts bullying me, telling me I wasn’t good enough for love, whether it was from my family or Aiden.
